Description
Are you looking to raise money to grow your tech startup? Raising capital is a separate skill set from the others you may have used to come up with your business idea. In this offering, we’ll work on your tech startup to make it more investable and help you understand the business’s strengths and opportunities from an investor perspective. If you’d like, we can also discuss and improve business strategy for the long-term benefit of the business overall, increasing your returns on the time and money you’ve invested so far. We can also discuss the pros and cons of venture financing and some potential alternatives.
With a winner of various pitching, Think Like an Angel, and Venture Capital Investment competitions, we’ll iteratively refine your pitch and give you good questions to ask that will focus your investment outreach strategy and help you not waste time on poor-fit investors so you can get back to the core tasks of building your business more quickly. With this offering, you can get feedback from someone who’s on your side before you blow limited chances to impress your key target investors.
